Hello:

I consult for an ISP that has a couple of Intel 266 Pentiums,
1 500Mhz Alpha and a Sparc all running linux. We have been talking
about writing our own web based email app (like HotMail) so that
our users can get mail remotely. We have only found one app like this
that runs under Linux and it is written in PERL. If we use SSL
on the web server, will the entire e-mail session be encrypted including
login? The POP server is behind the Firewall as well.

Thanks in advance,

Alexis
